Do you know if the lunch shuttle is a regular thing or just for PAX? So I sound like I know what I'm talking about when I ask for a map.

I'm not going to the rock band thing, and I have no idea what I'll be doing on Saturday! I'll PM you my gmail. I'm a very casual fan of video games so I'm certain to be outgeeked at overwhelmed at this event. I bought the passes for my fiance because we watched a thing on TV about it last year and it looked like fun. I just want to try out all the consoles and games we don't have (which is most of them)!

thanks! i'll add them to my map. (and i'm just a supporter of scott/unclegramps' gaming. i'm more of a spectator. i have pretty slow reflexes, so most handheld games aren't really all that enjoyable to me, so you're safe with me.)

and i think the lunch shuttle is a regular thing. at least while a convention is ongoing. they should have maps at the information desk, if not, follow the street level around to the right, past the cafeteria if i remember correctly. that's where the pickup/drop-off point is, and there should be a little kiosk/information desk. (but if there's no convention going on, then it probably won't be manned.)

CLOSED closed? like for good? man! good to know about the bee's knees. thanks!

for dinner, we need to stay within walking distance, since the lunch shuttles end at 3:00. last year we didn't really spend all that much time outside the convention center. (we had a lot of snacks in our bags, but got really hungry in the evening.)

the blue dragon got back to me. maybe that might be an option for dinner. (don't know what time yet though. probably on the order of 7:00 or so. i'll report back. what time is reasonable for you, vegetalion?)

i wanted to make fruity oaty bars, but i just had to stop. (i even left 2 discs of sugar cookie dough in the fridge. i was not looking forward to rolling out that dough and then icing it. i would have made tetris cookies if i had the energy. maybe next year.)

Okay, I was wrong about Bee's Knees. Every day somebody in my office says they're opening today, tomorrow, whatever and I believe them and then I look on Twitter and the opening has been delayed again. So I don't know what's going on over there, but you can keep tabs: http://twitter.com/BeesKneesSupply

Something just came up, but I won't be sure until tomorrow. I'll PM you my number so we can text about it!
